Founded by Texans Josh Ervin and Pablo Antinori, Socorro (Spanish for "help") lives up to its name by donating a portion of all proceeds to provide clean water to Jalisco orphanages. Produced at NOM 1610 (Casa Camarena) in Arandas, this Highlands tequila is built on value and integrity, earning a prestigious spot as a featured spirit on American Airlines.
The Añejo spends 14 months in new American Oak barrels, a choice that leans into the bold, sweet characteristics of the wood rather than the subtle influence of used bourbon casks.
Socorro Añejo is an accessible "crowd-pleaser" that balances Highland agave sweetness with heavy oak influence. It is a top-tier choice for those who appreciate a wood-forward profile and a brand that gives back to the community where its heart is grown.
Aromas: Strong Barrel notes of butterscotch, cocoa, and coconut, there is a definite perception of sweetness on the noise.
Flavor Profile: First word - sweet, although it it a light mouth feel, showing some caramel, vanilla, coconut sweetness. Almost like a creme brûlée note as it rounds out in your mouth.
Finish: Medium finish with flavors of ripe banana, and toasted coconut.
Socorro Añejo is an accessible "crowd-pleaser" that balances Highland agave sweetness with heavy oak influence, and offers it at a very attractive price.
